A friendly reminder: If you're a law prof who teaches Civ Pro, now is a great time to buy (or ask your library to buy) a couple of copies of Tag! The Jurisdiction Game. If you're a law prof who doesn't teach Civ Pro, now is a great time to tell your colleagues who do about Tag!

Who was YOUR great english teacher (if you had one)? For me it was Hugh Epstein at Richmond college (RUTC). I hope he's well, wherever he is!
My old English teachers did the same, instilled a love of the language and of reading that persists well into my fifties. Good teachers are worth their weight 💖
“We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.” - Sam Altman. I will never stop thinking about how nakedly evil this is, and it has framed every single AI headline I’ve read since.
Sam Altman Says Intelligence Will Be a Utility, and He's Just the Man to Collect the Bills
"Intelligence too cheap to meter" doesn't quite come across the way Altman might intend.

AI is a normal tech. That means there are times when it is useful and times when it is pointless or actively harmful. One rule of thumb for chatbots is that they can only provide useful information to experts who have the discernment to ignore the defective output that LLMs *always* emit. 60/
Every criticism of The Odyssey that I’ve seen is of the form “This movie differs from the original in these ways, and I disapprove. Plus it doesn’t embrace these modern revisions, and I also disapprove of that.”
Finally, an AI take that validates all of my priors. AI for me, but for thee (students)!

Traditional news media still hasn’t caught on to the fact that you can find examples of absolutely every belief and behavior online. That doesn’t make it a trend or news.
starting to wonder if the behavior of a small section of hyper online weirdos drives too much news

I'm no classicist, but I think the opposite is actually true. It's like if Homer said "This my hero Jonathan who goes on a long journey" and we were all like "from now on, we're calling a long journey a 'Jonath'"
